UP. Vox Announce ASC Candidates
With all the Student Council representative election just over two weeks away, the two campus political parties are shifting campaigns into high gear.
Both plan to reveal their platforms this week. University Party on Wednesday night and Vox Populi the following evening.
Also tentatively planned is a debate between leaders of the two organizations in a freshman women's residence hall. The debate was planned originally for last week, but then postponed to avoid conflicts due to mid-semester examinations.
"We delayed announcement of our platform for a week because we felt it was too general," said Charles Marvin, Lawrence senior and cochairman of UP. "We then sent questionnaires to house and dorm representatives to get statements on what they felt would be good platform planks."
"Our platform will consist primarily of planks advocating student services," said Tom Bornholdt, Topeka senior and Vox president. "This follows our concept of student government as an organization designed to extend services to students."
NEITHER PARTY is revealing specifics of its platforms, but both give hints of their broad outlines.
In addition to the 46 students seeking seats on the ASC,12 freshmen are competing for the four
Free Man Likes Apple Pie, Quiet
SEPULVEDA, Calif.—(UPI)—Enjoying Mr. apple pie and "a little peace and quiet," young Robert F. Mann could reflect today on a few fruitful results of his 21 months imprisonment in East Germany:
- An increased interest in political science and current events.
- And much more capability “to appreciate, human qualities.”
- Fluency in the German language, even to the point where he had almost forgotten some English.
- And much more capability "to
But Mann, 20, released by the Communists in Berlin last Wednesday, said upon his arrival at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday, "I can't recommend prison to anyone."
THE HANDSOME Stanford University student said he had "no regrets" over his attempt to get a Belgian passport for an East German student trying to escape to the West—for which he was arrested by East German police on Jan. 22, 1962. Six months of his imprisonment came before a secret trial and the first three months after his conviction was spent in solitary confinement.
"You look just the same except for your haircut. It's longer," Mrs. Mann told him. "We got your apple pie all cooked." she added, remembering her son's request over the telephone from overseas.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Mann, brothers John, 18, and Donald, 7, and sister Nancy, 13, embraced him at the airport and agreed he looked in good condition.
IN A NEWS conference following the family welcome, the student said following his six months' study at Stanford's overseas campus at Stuttgart, he went to Berlin because he "wasn't satisfied with my German" speaking ability.
Mann, dressed in the same clothes in which he was arrested, expressed surprise at the growth of the younger members of his family, "Donald, you're pretty darn big . . . Nancy, holy cow, you look very nice."
His involvement with students from the Free University in East Berlin led to his arrest and imprisonment. He said he had to face numerous interrogation sessions in prison. "They sit you in a room in a corner," he said. "If they know you know something, they keep you under pressure until you say it."
"I don't think they tried to convert me (to Communism) directly or personally." he said in response to a question. "They probably have changed my philosophy on many things, but not the way they wanted to."
As for the future, Mann said he is "planning to go back to college," but that his first desire was "to get a little peace and quiet."
